Proctor & Matthews and LDA Design win backing for 127-home scheme in Worcestershire
Proctor & Matthews and LDA Design have received local authority approval for a regeneration scheme in the grounds of the grade II*-listed Impney Hall in Worcestershire.
It will see the construction of a new mixed-use village of 127 homes and workspace at the 19th century estate, subject to a Section 106 planning-gain agreement and further design discussions with planning officers at Wychavon District Council.
Under the plans, a large 1970s conference and exhibition centre on the site will be demolished to make way for the new homes.
The plans also include a restoration of the hall itself, built in 1873 for saltworks magnate John Corbett. It will become a boutique hotel and restaurant.
LDA Design is responsible for the site-wide masterplan. which includes the hall’s restoration and landscaping of the estate’s vast parkland.
Proctor & Matthews is responsible for masterplanning the village, which will be known as “Little Impney”, and which has been inspired by the historic form of a walled garden with allotments and community orchards.
Proctor & Matthews director Stephen Proctor said the proposals had received “overwhelming support” from local residents.
Clare Wilks, LDA Design’s project lead for Impney, said the proposals would make a huge difference to the area and “become a lovely place to live and to visit”.
